I pick which items to post based partly on whim. Today’s featured item, my last one of 2009, was selected solely on mood. I wanted to post something that was no fuss and no muss, and immediately thought of these Fourre Double Choc Biscuits.

Tired. I don’t think I need to explain why, right? Shouldn’t there be an extra day to recover from busy weekends or holidays? It could be called something polite like Self-Recovery Day or Family Recovery Day. Or something impolite that we’ll all keep to ourselves. Feeling like I do now, it’s a good thing, then, that I have to say what I do about these Kasugai Roasted Mix Nuts. Yes, another post about the Japanese dollar store. And possibly my last one. About the store, that is. See, during my last visit there a few days ago, when I was standing in a quiet corner taking photos, a voice rang out with, “You can’t take pictures in here!” Oh boy, not this again. I knew I needed to work on my ninja photo-taking skills. Or lack thereof. But I’m not bitter about no longer being able to take photos there. Except when I think about it. Anyhoo, I went to the store in search of stocking stuffers of the non-food variety and found some things I wanted to stuff my stocking with.
Like this, which totally brings me back to being a child of the ’80s. Whatcha think—is a 20-something too old to rock this heart bracelet?
Well, we really shouldn’t be surprised by now that regarding Japanese items, the cuteness extends to drinks. So, I’ve realized that this Web site has become known to some people as one about Asian snacks. And I’m okay with that. Featuring all of those snacks has given me a list of things that I think would make great stocking stuffers/gift bag goodies. The first item on the list will come as little surprise to many. (I got all of the following things at local Asian markets, but some are also available on Amazon.com. I’ll include a link to the original post, as well as an Amazon.com one if I was able to find the item on the site.)
Chocolate Pocky, Strawberry Pocky on Asian Aisle. Chocolate Pocky on Amazon.com. |
